I am using the Kendo UI Grid and currently display parent child records appropriately. However, it turns out that i will actually need to display n-levels vs. strictly parent-child. Not every record will have children, but some will have multiple levels.
Current grid code:
var jgrid = $("#boxesgrid").kendoGrid({
columns: [
{
field: "JobId",
hidden: true
},
{
field: "PercentComplete",
hidden: true
},
{
field: "JobStatusId",
hidden: true
},
{
field: "AppName",
title: "App",
template: "<span>${AppName}</span><img class='health-img-r' id=app-${JobId} title='health' src='' alt='health_png' />",
width: "5%",
editable: false,
sortable: false
},
{
field: "JobName",
title: "Box Name",
width: "17%",
filterable: false
},
{
field: "StartTime",
title: "Start Time",
width: "14%",
filterable: false
},

}
],

},

var grid = this;
grid.tbody.find(">tr").each(function () {
var row = $(this).closest("tr");
var model = grid.dataItem(row);
var img = $(this).find("img");
if (model.JobStatusId == 4 && model.PercentComplete < 100) {
img.attr("src", function() {
return imgSrc + imgGreen;
});
} else if (model.JobStatusId == 4) {
img.attr("src", function() {
return imgSrc + imgAmber;

I have no problem with the traditional parent-child hierarchy, but I'm struggling with even how I go about making the detail template behave for it's children.
I would like the template to be appropriate for child/grandchild display - no dropdown indicator if it does not have additional children. I assume that i can evaluate the data on databound, but I'm just not seeing how to do it.
kendo:grid-pageable-messagesThe text messages displayed in pager. Use this option to customize or localize the pager messages.
To enable grouping, set the groupable option to true . As a result, the Grid exposes a new area in its header which enables the user to group the Grid data by a column. To group the data by multiple columns, users can drag the desired columns to the grouping header.
Kendo Grid is a very robust tool for displaying data in table format. Out-of-the-box features include sorting, filtering, and pagination. Simply defining the column schema with a few config options will have the grid set up quickly.
It took a while, but I finally worked out an answer with some guidance from the peeps at Telerik. I was just having the hardest time getting my head around the solution.
Vladimir (at Telerik) suggested that I use a custom ajax call in the detailInit function using a function on success to determine if I had child data to consider. Since I needed the detail grid no matter what, I moved the child check into another function that creates the detail grid. If I find child data, I add a detailInit parameter to the new grid. If not, I simply render the new detail grid.
The ajax initDetail function:
function detailInit(e) {
var eventData = e;
$.ajax({
url: apiUrl + "ProcessJobs",
type: "POST",
data: {BoxId: e.data.JobId, AppId: e.data.AppId},
dataType: "json",
success: function(data, status, xhr) {
initializeDetailGrid(eventData, data);
}
}
The function to build the new detail grid with the check for children:
function initializeDetailGrid(e, result) {
var moreChildren = result[0].HasChildren;
var gridBaseOptions = {
dataSource: result,
scrollable: false,
sortable: true,
columns: [
{
field: "ParentJobId",
title: "Parent Job"
},
{
field: "JobId",
title: "Job Id"
},
{
field: "JobName",
title: "Job Name",
},
{
field: "JobStatus",
title: "Status"
},
{
field: "JobStatusId",
title: "Status Code"
},
{
field: "HasChildren",
title: "Has Children"
},
{
field: "ChildrenCount",
title: "Child Jobs"
}
]
};
var gridOptions = {};
if (moreChildren) {
gridOptions = $.extend({}, gridBaseOptions, { detailInit: detailInit });
} else {
gridOptions = gridBaseOptions;
};
$("<div/>").appendTo(e.detailCell).kendoGrid(gridOptions);
};
For completeness, here is the full page and example data from the sample project. It is a .Net MVC4 based website, using Web API services for data and Kendo UI for the client.

The data is actually hardcoded for this sample app, but I still return it via Web API. Here is a sample of the highest level data:
new Process {JobId = 108, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_108", ParentJobName = null, ParentJobId = null, JobStatusId = 4, JobStatus = "Running", ChildrenCount = 3, HasChildren = true},
new Process {JobId = 109, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_109", ParentJobName = null, ParentJobId = null, JobStatusId = 5, JobStatus = "Success", ChildrenCount = 4, HasChildren = true},
new Process {JobId = 110, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_110", ParentJobName = null, ParentJobId = null, JobStatusId = 4, JobStatus = "Running", ChildrenCount = 2, HasChildren = true},
new Process {JobId = 111, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_111", ParentJobName = null, ParentJobId = null, JobStatusId = 5, JobStatus = "Success", ChildrenCount = 5, HasChildren = true},
Here is some second level data (child data):
new Process {JobId = 1037, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_1037", ParentJobName = "job_109", ParentJobId = 109, JobStatusId = 4, JobStatus = "Running", ChildrenCount = 0, HasChildren = false},
new Process {JobId = 1038, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_1038", ParentJobName = "job_109", ParentJobId = 109, JobStatusId = 4, JobStatus = "Running", ChildrenCount = 0, HasChildren = false},
new Process {JobId = 1039, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_1039", ParentJobName = "job_110", ParentJobId = 110, JobStatusId = 4, JobStatus = "Running", ChildrenCount = 2, HasChildren = true},
new Process {JobId = 1040, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_1040", ParentJobName = "job_110", ParentJobId = 110, JobStatusId = 4, JobStatus = "Running", ChildrenCount = 2, HasChildren = true},
Some of the 3rd level data (grandchildren):
new Process {JobId = 5000, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_5000", ParentJobName = "job_1039", ParentJobId = 1039, JobStatusId = 5, JobStatus = "Success", ChildrenCount = 0, HasChildren = false},
new Process {JobId = 5001, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_5001", ParentJobName = "job_1039", ParentJobId = 1039, JobStatusId = 5, JobStatus = "Success", ChildrenCount = 0, HasChildren = false},
new Process {JobId = 5002, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_5002", ParentJobName = "job_1040", ParentJobId = 1040, JobStatusId = 5, JobStatus = "Success", ChildrenCount = 0, HasChildren = false},
new Process {JobId = 5003, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_5003", ParentJobName = "job_1040", ParentJobId = 1040, JobStatusId = 5, JobStatus = "Success", ChildrenCount = 0, HasChildren = false},
new Process {JobId = 5004, AppId = 1, AppName = "App1", LobId = 2, LobName = "Lob2", JobName = "job_5004", ParentJobName = "job_1041", ParentJobId = 1041, JobStatusId = 5, JobStatus = "Success", ChildrenCount = 1, HasChildren = true},
And so on...
It is working correctly for 4 levels in my testing. There are formatting issues with the multiple nested grids that I will be addressing.
Not sure if this question is still open, but a simple solution is to use recursion in the "DetailInit" function, like below:
